I thought I had been had but just worked out I got 18000 miles out of them. I am kind on tyres but that is ridiculous. They were very squared by the end but still grippy and road legal. I've swapped them for Pilot Road 3s at an eye watering £303 fitted but reckon these might be the last tyres the bike will ever have at that rate. Thread pattern is weird and obviously still need riding in but hoping for big things in the wet this winter. Anyone else on them?
18000 miles?!! This is getting ridiculous. Do you have a hover-bike?! 6000 miles out of my last PR2s, front and rear! (Yes, I know mine's a thou, but even so....) Mind you, I only paid £236 the pair, fitted on the bike, wheels balanced. 6000 rear I'm actually quite happy with tbh, but the front......not so good. But still really like them.
